Jersey Boys created much buzz with the powerful male bravado of the Four Seasons and each pivotal character's personal experience and interpretation on the road to fame. The cast of Michael Longoria, Christian Hoffm Sebastian Arcleus, and J. Robert Spencer continues to have the audience firmly in its grasp as it mixes personal confessions and ensemble musical performances that beckons to every patron's nostalgic connection to the music of the '60s that was not part of the British invasion. 

The performances were terrific with their vocal prowess that dominated the jukesical. Often times in the musical documentaries, the plot gets lost and only seems to be useless filler between songs. Jersey Boys leaves no void between hits, whether they are snippets of the original or full performances. 

The musical has so many songs to choose from because of the amazing catalogue of hits by the Four Seasons. With only bits and pieces of smaller hits and full on productions of the most recognizable, the musical reaches the perfect balance and avoids the pitfalls of becoming simply a cover band doing a complete set and a play loosely inspired by a few key songs. 

Jersey Boys is not Mamma Mia! The seemingly endless circle of trial and error follows the group as they come together in the face of popular ambitions and mob pressure. Jersey Boys ends with an induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, but takes the audience to the several trips to jail and the countless the crossroads the quartet encounter along the way. 

Michael Longoria makes the move from Joe Pesci, who introduced the members of the group, to Frankie Valli, one half of the driving force behind the groups continued thriving popularity. Longoria seamlessly makes the transition and owns the role with wit and charm. 

Christian Hoff reprises his Tony-Award winning role as Tommy DeVito. His performance is amazing because it has not gone stale despite playing the same character as three years ago. He shines again as perhaps the most charismatic of the four-some. 

Sebastian Arceles and J. Robert Spencer as Bob Gaudio and Nick Massi play there torn characters very well, sometimes even inspiring tiny screams of joy from women who remember the Four Seasons when they actually began in the '60s. Sebastian Arcelus also continues his original role from the debut production. It is rare that a musical as successful as Jersey Boys would have so many from the original run still on stage, theater tickets to shows like that are rare. 

The set design only adds to the feel of the performance. It would be ridiculous for a musical as close to perpetual motion as Jersey Boys to create enough sets to keep up with the raucous pace, so Klara Zieglerova's preference for piping and pop art perfectly convey the spirit of the early '60s and the clamor the Four Seasons created as they went from stage to jail throughout the jukesical. 

Be warned, Jersey Boy tickets are not necessarily for the entire family. These were rock stars and their many female admirers make appearances on the stage and the dialogue may be too lewd for younger children. Nonetheless, the latest run of Jersey Boys is something to be enjoyed and celebrated for adults. 

The nonstop singing and dialogue quickly takes the audience through 30 years in about two hours with the direction of Des McAnuff and the choreography of Sergio Trujillo. It was surprises that the show was able to stay so evenly divided between the four principal group members despite the involvement of Bob Gaudio. 

August Wilson Theater tickets are well worth their price to see this show. Jukesicals of this caliber are rare and often grow stale with time, but this show has remained as timeless as the Four Seasons themselves.
